Wow- okay Ive learned quite a bit here... So attack powers from your paragon power sets end up much weaker? would you say still inefective for leveling? Cause see I took jumping as my travel power- as it fit nicely with the theme I was going for and chose combat jumping. Right now (at around level 14-15) it seems to be doing rather good damage. Also my current build includes leadership. I havent heard much about it- but the first damage skill from it has increased my damage (and shortened my end life) by quite a bit. Your advice on fitness I do plan on taking. Now a lot of the guides suggest taking a second travel power later down the line. flying would kinda make my jumping kind of useless... so I was thinking of taking teleport. Using it as a way of bring team mates to me or RPly using it to represent very quick movements - aka animeishly like Bleaches shunpo are rouroni kenshins "god like speed".

Can anyone explain what the heck soft caping means?

thanks a bunch. So you'd recommend fitness as one of the sets to get then for bracticed brawler?

also is there any reason why I dont see katanas mentioned much in peoples sets?

Okay...Ive browsed through these forums a bit and this game uses a lot of terminology - a lot of which I could likely find out on paragon wiki I know... but I am interested more in individual opinions. Iam running a Katana/ Super Reflexes build. It stated teh katana was slightly faster- which I thought would fit nicely with the SR.

I have seen almost no mention of katana with all the posts. Is there a reason for this? Also what skills are an absoulute must? for either skill set? I have no idea what IOs are... but enchantment wise I've been trying to fill them with defense enhancers and energy reduction to stop myself being completly empty on power quickly. and on that note how do you guys avoid that? stocking up inspriations while inexpensive doesnt last very long and unlike other mmos I have no "basic attack" often especially against foes with electrical attacks Iam stuck unable to attack due to my power being gone. Do I need to worry less about recharge times (which I put in all of my katana skills to quicken them save for the quick first level one) and put in another power reduction?

Recently I've also started fighting my first opponents with psionic attacks and I've found myself getting stunlocked... anyway with this build to avoid it?

any other advice such as other sets to grab and the like would be helpful. Thanks.

Name: The Exodus Order

Currently Recruiting: We keep an open door policy.

RP Level: We are a light-heavy RP Super group. With a basic on going storyline. Its light enough that new RPers can quickly begin becoming a part of it but also enough that heavy rpers will enjoy the evolving aspect of it.

PvP Level: casual - this is at best. Pvp is welcome but not particualry focused on.

Theme/Concept: Warriors do not come from any one origin or any one type. They may or may not have powers- what seperates a warrior from others is his/her spirit. In the modern world it is difficult to foster said warrior spirit. The Exodus Order are comprised of such people. They are part of the exodus to Paragon city... warriors drawn too the potential to live as their spirit and soul demands of paragon city. The order attempts to locate and train other warriors as well as protect their new home. However even when not fighting for justice, they continue to train and push themselves. The difference between a solider and warrior is quite large at times...

Activity: We are just starting up- which is why the story is still so basic. We currently only have 3 active members but we hope to quickly change that!

The Exodus Order is a light- heavy RP SG with the focus of having different RP styles come together despite the difference in RP structure and form a great story. Due to it being light- heavy, A strong tolerance of other play styles is a must.

Something else that seperates us is a focus on being open to all ages be they 8 or 60. We believe that anyone who can even try to RP can have something to add and we further believe that different RP styles/ playing styles shoudnt seperate family/ friends.

Our focus naturally will shift to what its members desire. There however certain ideals that will stay.
1. An open door policy- until you prove otherwise, we assume your a good person

2. An all age friendly atmosphere

3. Encouraging RP and being open to it.

If your interested in joining or coalitioning with us, you can contact us at our website - above- or by contacting any member in game including Cobalt Blaze, and Shinobi Zakuro.
Back Story
The noble blood of warriors still runs in select humans. However these warriors are often exiled or outcasts in their native lands. Paragon City is land however that the warrior spirit can still easily be fostered in. Many Warriors will join this Exodus to Paragon city. - Will You?

Sweet thanks a bunch... yeah two hours if Iam careful can last me quite awhile...though only getting it once seems a bit harsh. Well thanks a bunch guys. didn't know about the safeguard missions... sounds like fun.

Wow a forum without a new player section?... oh well.

Hi my and my girlfriend recently got accounts and are enjoying the game immensly... however, aside from the jet pack thats given for getting the hero vs villian edition, I've noticed that getting around is a large pain in the rear. The train helps but its mostly a matter of speed. Many missions require traveling .7 miles to the train station and then another 600 yards to the building. Aside from flight and sprint (which vastly improves the travel time) is there any kind of way to get around in this game? In other mmos I've played hitting level 20-40 meant that you gained some kind of faster getting around skill.
I saw that flight, and speed were powersets however, it seems rather limited to have to waste a power on something that doesnt match a theme or something... Iam looking for like a vehicle or something. Iam not looking to fight with the skill or item so much as get around a bit quicker.

and on that note, what skills improve getting around? I admit I know pretty much nothing about getting around- was it stupid of me not choosing flight or speed as my first power set? Any help here would be great- be it advice or anything else.

I am scrapper currently katana/fast reflexes + jumping (as I thought the jumping fit in theme wise well with the fast reflexes though speed might have better.)
Also any other general new player help would be great. (to avoid the probably debate- I dont really plan on hanging around the AE much right now as although it sounds fun playing player designed missions, at the moment it seems like people are using it as a substitute for the dev content. which would kind of ruin my expirance I think.

Right now we're doing some stuff around the hollows and are around level 9 or 10. Would you recommend for immersion/fun wise sticking around there? and if not where should we go? both of our contacts sent us there- if we go back to the contacts that sent us there, will they have something else for us?

Ive heard something about a clockwork story arc- and I started a bit of an arc I think with conflict between hellions and skulls or something. Any have any random contacts we can go talk too?

Thanks for all your help.
